As she confronts him, a stunning revelation throws everything off balance. A powerful CEO, claiming to be her new husband, appears out of nowhere, sending Jace into a jealous frenzy. Will she be able to get the revenge she dreamed of? Or will she let the growing attraction for her new husband and the lingering feelings for her ex-husband stop her?
Lihat lebih banyakNova's POVI stood in front of my open closet with my arms crossed tightly over my chest. I had been standing there for like forever, I was biting my lower lip so hard that I was worried it might bleed soon. The rows of comfy clothes stared back at me, judging my indecisiveness. "This should not be this difficult," I said to myself, pulling out a simple grey gown set only to put it back seconds later.Lounge set or something sexier? The question had been cycling through my mind for the past twenty minutes, driving me insane slowly.It was just a movie night, for crying out loud. Just a casual, friendly dinner kind of thing that two people who lived in the same house might do. Not a date.But then again, maybe not a date? I dropped my hands and tapped my index finger against my lips.The overhead light flashed once as if even my bedroom lighting was growing impatient with my indecision.I glanced at the clock on my nightstand and I realised that I already spent twenty minutes before
Levi's POVThe ride back home was quiet in the best way, comfortable and soft. The evening air was cool through the windows, carrying the scent of rain that had not fallen yet.Streetlights flashed across Nova's face the moment she showed up. Nova kicked off her heels the moment she stepped in the passenger seat."Remind me not to wear these shoes again," she said while rubbing her ankle.I looked at her, smiling at the sight of her disordered appearance. Even with makeup that was already slightly faded and her hair that was falling from the way it was carefully packed, she was still looking good."They looked amazing on you, though," I said. She raised an eyebrow. "Praising me will not change the fact that I am considering throwing them out of this moving vehicle."I chuckled, easing the car around a corner. "I will slow down first, at least let them die with dignity."The dashboard lights lighted my hands on the steering wheel, despite the nervous energy beneath my skin from spendi
Nova's POVThe knock on my office door was soft. After the small celebration, we both had to finish up our daily tasks and begin some clean-up on what Dominic had caused to the company. My eyes burned slightly from staring at spreadsheets for too long, trying to note every inconsistency that fool had created."Come in," I called, already knowing who it was. My heart gave a small flutter even before Levi stepped inside, his tie loosened just slightly and his sleeves rolled up in a way that made him look less like the intimidating CEO and more like... himself. There was something about seeing him this way that made my pulse quicken."You've been cooped up here too long," he said with that quiet smirk of his, resting against my doorframe with casual confidence. His eyes glanced over the scattered papers across my desk, and the empty coffee mug. "I was thinking... dinner?"I tilted my head, feeling a playful smile tug at my lips despite my exhaustion. "Dinner as in, food in general? O
Levi's POV "Security," my grandfather said simply, turning his back to Dominic as if the man no longer existed. Two men in black uniforms entered the boardroom as if they'd been waiting just outside the door and for them to be beckoned on. Perhaps they had been. My grandfather was always ten steps ahead just the same way he had first offered Nova money to leave and still later gave her three percent shares of the company. He was always ready for contingencies. The large table between us suddenly felt like a battlefield, with Dominic on one side and the rest of us on the other. Dominic turned toward the security men with widened eyes and his pupils dilated with a fear I had never seen in him before. That stupid arrogant mask he'd worn for years was finally slipping, revealing something desperate underneath. His real self. "This is bullshit!" he shouted, hitting his palm against the table. The table water shook from the force. "I built this company with you! You think I'd
Levi’s POV The boardroom was super silent, except for the continuous ticking of the wall clock mounted above the tall glass window of the conference room. The rhythm of that tick was the only sound that filled up the room as the directors filed in, one after the other with disgusting looks on their faces as if it was something they had all collectively agreed to. And one by one. They took their seats at the long mahogany table. Dominic was already there, seated at the far end of the table with his legs crossed and an arrogant smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. He doesn't know what's coming yet. He looked up at me briefly, then returned his attention to his phone as if this meeting I called was nothing more than another boring quarterly check-in. But this wasn’t a check-in. This was war. He believed he had completely defeated me, like he had ruined everything I had worked for and he was going to reap it all without shedding much sweat. Well, fuck him, because I wa
Nova’s POVThe early morning light reflected through the company’s glass front as I made my way through the corridors with determination and fear.I kept thinking about every suspicious transaction, every dead vendor reactivated, and every trace of the ghost department “Marketing & Development Branch 7A.” I held the folder of printed evidence close to my chest as if it were a talisman, a small token of hope that I could help Levi clear his name.I got to the closed door of Levi’s office and pressed my ear lightly against it. There was a low murmur inside, the sound of him deep in thought and review. I steeled myself, knocking softly before pushing the door open.Inside, Levi was hunched over his desk, his eyes were on multiple monitors that displayed streams of financial data. His face is always so composed in public, bore the marks of sleepless nights and mounting pressure. When he looked up and met my gaze, I saw his eyes. His eyes didn't hold the same spark it did the day I met
Nova's POVThe morning sun reflected through the kitchen windows, golden and gentle, but there was a storm brewing inside me.The light cast long shadows across the polished countertops, much like the ones darkening my thoughts.Levi had not come to bed last night. And even though he had not said it aloud, I knew why.He was chasing something in the dark, answers, culprits and hope. The blue glow of his computer screen had been visible beneath his office door when I had finally given up waiting and gone to bed alone.I did not blame him. The weight on his shoulders was crushing. The accusations, the suspicions at work, the whispers behind his back, they were all taking their toll.And if I knew Levi at all, I knew he would carry every bit of it alone if he thought it meant protecting everyone else. But he was not alone anymore. Not while I was here.I quietly cleaned up the dishes from breakfast. I glanced once at the hallway to his office. He had not come out since I woke up. Not eve
Levi's POVThe office grew quieter as the day stretched on. Most of the staff had filtered out hours ago, leaving just the hum of computers and the occasional ping of the elevator down the hall. I'd barely moved from my chair since dawn, surrounded by financial reports and transaction logs that were starting to blur together.I rubbed my eyes, feeling the strain of staring at screens for nearly twelve hours straight. My coffee had gone cold—the fourth cup I'd forgotten to drink while lost in the labyrinth of numbers."Marketing & Development Branch 7A," I muttered to myself, circling the designation again on my notepad.This phantom branch was the key. Someone had reactivated old credentials, using them as a digital tunnel to move funds without triggering the usual alerts. But who had access to those old system parameters? The list was short—department heads from that era, IT security leads, and...board members with historical access privileges.Like Dominic.I leaned back in my cha
Levi’s POVI hadn’t slept.Not properly, anyway. I laid in bed for hours, staring at the ceiling while numbers, account codes, transaction trails, and all the damned board members’ suspicious stares haunted my brain like a plague.At 4:17 AM, I gave up trying and got dressed.By 5:05 AM, I was already in my office, staring at five different screens and going through files that I wasn’t even sure would give me anything. But I had to try. If I could find a pattern, a single mistake in the sea of deception, I could pull the whole thing apart.But the deeper I dug, the more seamless it looked.Every transaction was layered with decoy routing. Memos fabricated. Timestamps forged. Signatures digitally altered with precision. Whoever did this had access. They knew our systems—knew how to mask their tracks and reroute funds through offshore accounts before circling them back in tiny untraceable bits.It was genius.But also evil.And only one person in this company had both the motivation
Nova's POV "You're a barren woman! A failure as a wife and a daughter-in-law! When I was your age Jace was already 5! When will you give me a grandchild? ” Sarabi, my mother-in-law, screamed in my face. “I'm not barren. The doctors said we just need more time.” I replied. I've been trying to explain this to her for 5 years since I married Jace but she never stopped torturing me. Instead, the torture grew worse with every passing day. “For what exactly? The only thing you do is to spend my son's hard-earned money. Jace can do so much better than a gold digger like you!” Sarabi said and walked out but not before pushing the tray of tea cups to the floor. Leaving a mess I had to clean up. But I knew that this was far from over. Sarabi would not rest until she had destroyed me. Until she had proven her superiority over me. But she was never like this, I vividly remembered how nice she was when I dropped out of school to support Jace. How supportive she was when I had to work mult...
